How to Grow Happiness
佚名 / Anonymous
Step one：
Plant yourself deep in a bed of faith， and pack it down solid and tight. Drench daily with positive thinking， and keep saturated just right. Mulch often with forgiveness， for this will help you grow. Quickly remove any seeds of worry， for they will soon germinate， and keep out the weeds of despair. Nourish disappointments with hope whenever it is needed， and always stay cool and shaded when you feel irritated or heated. Trim away guilt or depression， for they create decay， and cultivate with happy memories as often as every day.
